I have a logitech mouse with a wheel.  To get it working, I just kept
trying different protocols in gpm until I found one that worked.

My gpm configuration is:


Current configuration: -m /dev/psaux -t fuimps2 -Rraw
Device: /dev/psaux
Type: fuimps2
Repeat_Type: raw

Here is the relevant section from XF86Config-4

Section
"InputDevice"                                                           
       Identifier "Configured
Mouse"                                      
        Driver         
"mouse"                                                 
        Option         
"CorePointer"                                           
        Option          "Device"               
"/dev/gpmdata"                  
        Option          "Protocol"             
"ImPS/2"                        
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4
5"                           
EndSection
